this is news coming to you live from berlin down to the wire in israel it's the tightest of races with both spain candidates claiming victory in the election but incumbent benjamin netanyahu looks to have the edge will have all the latest on the first results and what they mean for the country also coming up it's almost been a day. britain's theresa may prepares to ask european leaders for a delay to break that if they refuse u.k. could crash out of the e.u. in two days' time. plus prepare to be sucked it up to now the only pictures you

could have seen of black holes are computer animations like this one later today scientists will for the first time until the first real image of a black hole looks play why this is such a milestone. well i'm terry martin welcome to the program israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu appears to have secured victory in the country's general election and with most of the votes counted he is running neck and neck with his main challenger benny guns of the centrist blue and white party but now some yahoo is in a stronger position to form a coalition with support of a number of right wing parties crossed israel in a moment but first this report. there were pyrotechnics and music for

netanyahu when he took to the stage at the likud party event in the wee hours to claim victory. i am very moved that the nation of israel has once again given its trust to me. and done so for the fifth time. so good to. be with. they have again given their trust to us and to me. it's unprecedented when did we ever get so many seats i don't remember going to get one looking for a little man to go to do little. i assist term would make netanyahu israel's longest serving prime minister even surpassing the founding father of the jewish state. i have to voting ended exit polls appear to indicate

a neck and neck race between netanyahu and his closest rival many cans of the centrist blue and white and i and indeed around the time netanyahu made his victory speech dance was saying the same to his supporters. in elections that loses in elections that whenas and we are the winner as i but that optimism may have turned out to be premature as the night went on and vote counts came in it remained a close run thing the latest on the israeli election we're joined by dalia sheindlin a public opinion expert and political analyst she joins us from tel aviv danny at the election has produced a virtual tie between the parties of benjamin netanyahu and benny gantz they may end up with the same number of seats in parliament and both are claiming victory is it clear who will get to lead the next government. it is absolutely not clear

although it looks like it should be easier for the prime minister to form the next government mainly because the bloc of parties that identify with right wing politics is significantly bigger than the block of what used to be opposition parties we don't know exactly but it may may well still be opposition parties which is center left and the arab parties that block of right wing parties seems to have won so far sixty five seats out of one hundred twenty which is a clear majority. if nessun yahoo does come out all tall he won't have an easy time of it he's facing corruption allegations a probable indictment what can we expect from his fifth term as prime minister. well it's a little bit hard to know there is still so much up in the air i mean yes there with relation to the indictment the attorney general has said that he will indictments on yahoo pending a hearing we don't know when that hearing will take place nor won't happen if he does in fact indicted afterwards by israeli law he is not obliged to resign if he's

prime minister that the obligation to resign under indictment only holds for a minister in the government not for the prime minister so we don't know if the parties that go into coalition with him will all agree which something that he would like he would like them to agree not to build the coalition if he is indicted but that very much depends on the coalition bargaining. what does this election results told us about the direction that israel is headed particularly in relation to the palestinians and the search for peace in the middle east. well i must tell you that the way israel breaks down in terms of how people identify right left and center is largely around the issue of the israeli palestinian conflict and the issue of security and the fact that you know more is really as identify as right wing by a majority by you know. a small but significant majority of voters of voting age that is clearly reflected in these in the in these election results so you know

that's why we see this sixty five seat breakdown for the right wing and what right wing means in israel is that security comes before anything else first of all but it also in recent years has come to mean opposing a two state solution quite openly and all the right wing parties with the exception of the coup because the coup does not have a platform but all the right wing parties have essentially stated their opposition to a two state solution in various forms either by proposing different kinds of partial annexation or even complete an extension depending on how far right they are and likud has not published a platform but on the ground they have been implementing a sort of defacto creeping an exception of parts of the west bank over recent years of course prime minister netanyahu in the few days before the elections indicated an intention to move ahead with an exciting settlement you know there's a lot of speculation about whether that will continue but it definitely doesn't look like israel is headed in the direction of a classic two state solution it's not even clear whether that solution is possible

anymore. thank you so much that was dalio shankland political analyst in tel aviv. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today stories in rio de janeiro say at least ten people are dead after severe storms hit the city some residents described the trench will downpours and flash flooding as the worst they have ever seen a leading newspaper attack the government for not doing more to protect against flood disaster. the dalai lama has been taken to hospital in delhi as a precautionary measure after appealing chest pain a spokesman said the eighty three year old is in a stable condition and has been ordered to rest the exiled tibetan spiritual leader said recently he hoped to live long enough to see political change in china and the . new york officials have ordered mandatory measles vaccinations in a neighborhood experiencing an outbreak of the disease the williamsburg district

ahead of the meeting prime minister may pay visits to berlin and paris to plead her case. although she received a friendly french welcome in paris it wasn't easy going for theresa may president emanuel the chronos often seen as the european leader with the toughest demands may was lucky this time france softened its stance and said de lay within limits was an option for the long awaited breck's it still france and other european countries are getting increasingly impatient we want to understand what the u.k. need this extension for and what is the political surroundings our series a may to have this extension before her visit to paris may also travel to berlin to ask german chancellor angela merkel about the extension but like many bragg's arrangements things didn't quite go as planned terisa may arrive a little too early and merkel wasn't there to welcome her. after their meeting

merkel said it could even be extended to the beginning of twenty twenty but many european leaders are urging the british to provide more clarity. this was the call on tuesday morning at a meeting of the e.u. foreign ministers. and we are waiting finally for substantive steps in the right direction up to now nothing at all that's changed and we are of course thinking about an appropriate extension of the deadline and also about a longer extension i must however come with very strict conditions on guns. now with official visits to berlin paris complete theresa may has to brace herself for the emergency summit in brussels she'll need the support of all twenty seven e.u. members to get the delay she's looking for. or for the very latest let's bring in our brussels correspondent band leader his big mass in london first to you but tell

us all of the e.u. member states united on giving theresa may more time to get the breaks that deal approved because just a couple of days ago some like france were sounding very reluctant. that stands now the e.u. is very united and also very very patient. visits to great britain because the does not want to take the blame for no deal of the hod brooks said for britain crashing out of the you this is not a decision said you negotiate a mission on the. mrs may. be offered a long extension to both nuns but britain can leave at any point but the two conditions attached first britain has to take part in the european elections end of may and britain has to ground a kind of a sincere cooperation in this extended period this is a kind of a if you would say so a backstop for the e.u.

this time to prevent any future prime minister to obstruct e.u. business and to prevent a spill of the kaos from the islands to the continent ok so a couple of conditions there being put forth in brussels over to you big leaders have said that any further extension the break that deadline also depends on london presenting a clear purpose or. just a big hope that parliament will eventually make a. talking to the opposition to the labor party and those talks are continuing but it's actually far from easy to reach a consensus because there isn't really a tradition here in the u.k. to work together to cooperate across party lines so that makes it quite tricky also for treason may have self she is really not in a very secure position we've had people from from her own party asking for change

in the party manifesto so that could be another leadership challenge they don't want to see trees and my for them taking part in the european elections like down mention and staying longer in the us absolute anathema really a lot to still up in the air at the moment and treasonist position has self is really not stable that's all. baggage from us in london and in brussels for south bound to be good thank you very much to you both you're watching the news still to come high unemployment is driving many young people in the gambia to leave the country we speak to one young man who is telling them why they should stay. first to brazil where the president joe you are both in our i was making a marking one hundred days in office today but the far right leader who's been dubbed the triumph of the tropics for his leadership style has been dogged by chaos

matter that crosses the so-called event horizon is gone forever. black holes are created when dying stars collapse in on themselves or when two stars collide and their masses merge. the gravitational forces become so massive that the matters we used into his think zero point called the singularity. black holes start small but as they suck up more and more material in their path they can begin to grow and eventually become super massive black holes like the one at the center of our galaxy the milky way. with the mass and the gravitational pull of four million stars like our sun. so far astronomers have been unable to see the milky way's sensual super massive black hole directly be inferred its existence from the motion of the stars orbiting around. the event horizon telescope spent two years gathering signals from the black hole the center of our galaxy the

telescope is actually a global network of synchronized radio observatories the coordinated with atomic clocks to synchronize them and all that data is combined after the fact into what's called a correlator and that correlator as ultimately produces data that can be constructed into an image and that image will be the first time astronomers and the rest of us earthlings will have a direct visual representation of a black hole along with the powerful gamma radiation that it emits as it gobbles up matter a burst so strong and so final astronomers call it the death scream of a doomed. let's get back down to earth soccer and in the champions league tottenham edged out english rivals manchester city one nil to gain the advantage in their quarter pottle clash. set the tone with an early penalty save favorites manchester city failed to capitalise on their dominant possession and the
